Should USMS require record breakers to
do drug testing for their records to count?

I agree. I think for some of us who competed in USA Swimming and college, Masters is a whole different world. I've already done the "swimming is my life" thing and I now enjoy swimming as a small part of my life as opposed to what directs it.
For those who didn't swim younger, there may be a few who are as into it now as we were then. But Master's swimming is not equivalent to USA Swimming. To take PED's to set a Master's record does seem a bit pathetic.
i wouldn't be so bold as to question one's reasons for wanting to set a master's record. this is not a n endorsement for the use of PED's. 40,000 members = 40,000 different reasons for swimming. i don't think my reasons for swimming (masters) are any less valid than those of any usas or college swimmer.
if you have already done the "swimming in your life" may i suggest taking up golf or snooker.
